LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZEĪ lush, glittering short story collection exploring female obsession and desire by an award-winning author Roxane Gay calls "a consummate storyteller."įrom Kentucky to the California desert, these forty-two short stories - ranging from the 80's and 90's to present day - expose the hearts of girls and women in moments of obsessive desire and fantasy, wildness and bad behavior, brokenness and fearlessness, and more. ![]() ![]() ![]() He escaped from Pentridge Prison in 1980. Īt the time, Roberts believed that his manner lessened the brutality of his acts but, later in his life, he admitted that people only gave him money because he had made them afraid. He wore a three-piece suit, and he always said "please" and "thank you" to the people he robbed. To finance his drug habit, he turned to crime, becoming known as the "Building Society Bandit" and the "Gentleman Bandit", because he only robbed institutions with adequate insurance. Roberts reportedly became addicted to heroin after his marriage ended and he lost custody of his young daughter. ![]() He is a former heroin addict and convicted bank robber who escaped from Pentridge Prison in 1980 and fled to India, where he lived for ten years. Gregory David Roberts (born Gregory John Peter Smith 1952 ) is an Australian author best known for his novel Shantaram. ![]() ![]() ![]() The artwork is also uncommon and, in my opinion, very thoughtfully drawn. The rhymes perhaps could use a little more perfecting, but I did enjoy the overall unique style in which the book was written. ![]() There are obviously stories behind the photos and I wish I could ask the author to hear all about it! For instance, what in the world happened to that man while standing in the rain at the train station? □ It’s more of an informative, “be ready for the lengthy trial of the adoption process” book rather than one that focuses on the actual adopted child and after he or she comes home, so just be aware of that. (On a personal disclosing note, I also have extra love for Russia having lived and studied there, so that potentially skews my review.) The book walks through the steps this couple went through (sadness, hope, paperwork, travels, waiting, etc.) and eventually the bringing home of their sweet new child. Love’s Complete is written in poetic, rhyming form and tells the story of a barren couple who seeks adoption in Russia. And now I’ve had the opportunity to read another book geared toward children which depicts the beautiful act of adoption. I know I’ve said it before, but one of God’s commands always lays heavy on my heart - that of taking care of orphans and widows. ![]() ![]() And maybe she can get a decent brunch with Jim, the man of her dreams, despite the fact that they haven’t exchanged more than a daily greeting and general niceties for the longest time. ![]() It’s a Saturday, which, in adulthood, means a day filled with running errands, and doing things in the name of self-care or home-care but ultimately exhausts you instead of making you feel relaxed and replenished. Still, the memory of that man’s face is unsettling, but she knows in the next few hours it will be a distant memory. That’s when the realisation hits her that it was just a dream. The blaring, relentless beeping of her alarm pulls her from her sleep. He looks deep into her eyes, and she can’t look away. ![]() Everything fades away, but the man’s face remains. It is a face she does not recognise but his features, strikingly prominent in the haze, imprint permanently in her brain. ![]() Then the figure draws closer and his face becomes crystal clear. Her movements seem uncontrolled, she can’t seem to get any part of herself to move according to her will. Louise is fighting against her senses and surroundings but nothing seems to make sense. ![]() The blurry haze engulfs and encompasses them. His large stature hovering in the brightness that her eyes seemed to fight and protest against. The figure just stood there, hovering, looming. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know why I ever avoided these types of stories because, OMG, I love this series so much!!! It was freaking FLAWLESS!!! I truly hope that these two authors continue to collaborate together and I am sending out a desperate plea to them to PLEASE continue this story!! I am so not ready to put this one to bed!! This book completely consumed me and it felt like within a blink of an eye, I was at the end of the epilogue. Webster & Ker Dukey take us on another extremely dark and disturbing ride in PRETTY LOST DOLLS. She makes my heart beat and captivates me in a way no other ever will.

SIGNED, DATED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE 'To Michelu, with good wishes, Rose Tremain Norwich 1989'. First edition, subsequent impression with number line '3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2'. ![]() ![]() Constantly juxtaposing her readings of the two philosophers. His concept of the Real, however, provides perhaps the most useful backdrop to this new interpretation of Kantian ethics. Lacan on the face of it appears the very antithesis of Kant - the wild theorist of psychoanalysis compared to the sober Enlightenment thinker. Kant, thank God, is not our contemporary he stands against the grain of our times. This book is concerned with doing exactly the opposite. In attempting to interpret such a revolutionary proposition in a more 'humane' light, and to turn Kant into our contemporary - someone who can help us with our own ethical dilemmas - many Kantian scholars have glossed over its apparent paradoxes and impossible claims. The idea of Kantian ethics is both simple and revolutionary: it proposes a moral law independent of any notion of a pre-established Good or any 'human inclination' such as love, sympathy or fear. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, of course, I dove back in because I had to know why-and the story keeps you wondering why until the very end. The beginning of The Confession was so abrupt I had to step away from the book for a moment and process. The Confession was anything but simple, but it was a refreshing change-a meta-narrative-as surprising and pleasant as thinking you had opened up a bottle of cold chardonnay only to find out it’s champagne. JP Carney walks into the home of Julie and Harry McNamara and proceeds to violently and unstoppably beat Harry to death with a golf club. Instead of a whodunit, I was given a whydunit, as there was no question about either the identity of the perpetrator or the victim. Then, I read the prologue and all that went out the window. I’d been reading long, complicated novels and wanted something simple and refreshing. When I decided to review The Confession by Jo Spain, it was merely because I wanted to read a simple police procedural that would take me through a crime in a well-articulated, step-by-step narrative. The Confession by Jo Spain is a gripping psychological thriller that makes you question whether the confession of a crime on the first page is driven by a guilty conscience or whether it’s a calculated move in a deadly game. ![]() |
